G'day putrol,
There is a terrific book on Cape York i would recommend buying, by Ron Moon I think. it probably has all the waypoints on it, mine didn't.

Drive the creb track if it's open, Roaring Meg falls requires a permit.

Laura to Maytown Coach rd is also a fantastic drive, you wouldn't believe it was a Cobb & Co run. They were tough blokes.
You must travel the OTL and don't miss the old favouites, Dulhunty, Gunshot and all the OTL creeks
I wouldn't mind going back myself.

Cheers,
Bill

We did Ussher Point in 07 the main track will lead you to Sad Point the turn off to Ussher Point was then over grown but found it after a very weird encounter with a local living at Sad Point the views at Ussher Point are worth the drive

YOU SHOULD READ THREAD 76967

Regards Tony

Haven't got co ordinates but if you get to Mutee Heads (turn off ferry to Injinoo road about 10k from Injinoo) you can drive to the WW2 radar tower on top of the headland.
The track turns off left about 200m before you hit the beach. Just follow your nose around, it's about half a kilometre. Nice view across to Prince of Wales Island too.
This same track turns off and follows the coastline just inland to the Jardine River near the mouth. About 5 kilometres but some sandy stretches of about 200 metres at a time, so have hubs locked in. Never needed to lower tyre pressures, used to tow a dinghy there. Firm ground at the river bank but don't try to drive too close to the mouth, the track gets into sand again. Nice camping on a high bank. Clear water, sandy beaches but watch for crocs.

Also turn off right just before Mutee Heads beach and there are historical graves of some of the Islanders who originally settled at Mutee Heads in 46 or 47 before they moved to Bamaga. Only a few metres in.

Dont miss the Light Ship at Vrilya Point.
On the west coast, south of the Jardine River.
